As seen on Shwin&Shwin’s Project Toddler Runway, here is the tutorial behind my project: The Arden Refashioned Shirt Dress. Turn a shirt and a skirt or a dress into a refashioned shirt dress! In the excitement of creating the first project for my first blog competition, I didn’t take photos along the way. So, I {…Continue Reading}

Day #12 – Getting Organized Challenge
Today’s challenge is the spice cabinet. Yay! Finally one where I feel marginally confident – at least in part. Shortly after we got married, I bought two chalkboard magnetic panels from Pottery Barn or Crate and Barrel. Then I put all our spices in magnetic spice canisters from Custom Magnetic Spice Racks. Pretty nice, eh? {…Continue Reading}

Day #10 – Getting Organized Challenge
Darn it. I really hoped I wasn’t going to have to show everyone my deep dark… basement. Keep in mind, our house was built in 1918. “Laundry room” wasn’t even a concept then, so our washer and dryer are in the basement. For almost a century old, this isn’t really that bad, but I know {…Continue Reading}
Day #9 – Getting Organized Challenge
Today’s challenge for A Bowl Full of Lemons’ 21 Day Organization challenge is TOY ORGANIZATION. Sort of scary, so I thought it deserved all caps. Our toys aren’t really all that bad, since we put everything into bins. I LOVE these Tubtrug bins – when we’re all done with toy storage they can become garden or {…Continue Reading}
Day # 8 – Getting Organized Challenge
Beginning to lose steam. I’m committed to completing these organization challenges each day, but I also need to get some sewing done for Week 2 of Project Toddler Runway. And get to bed before midnight for once. So this will be short and sweet. Before. Already had some organizers, but they were crammed full of stuff {…Continue Reading}
Project Toddler Runway – Week One Results
Voting for the first week of Project Toddler Runway is closed, and… My yellow and gray dress project received the most votes! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was so nervous all weekend – lurking on Shwin&Shwin’s blog practically nonstop! The challenge was “The Shirt Off Your Back”, or an upcycle challenge. I have a {…Continue Reading}
Day #7 – Getting Organized Challenge
For A Bowl Full of Lemons’ 21 Day Organization Challenge we’re on to the pantry. Pantry? What pantry? I unfortunately don’t have one in my house. Our overflow food goes on wire shelving in the basement. That is, until today! We have this odd little cupboard in the corner of our dining room, hidden behind the {…Continue Reading}
Scarflette… Knit for Me!
Remember my scarflette project that Arden pulled the needles from and unraveled a bit? Well, I was able to recover it and finally – finish it! I’m really liking it, and it matches the hat I made… for me! Here’s how: On straight or double pointed needles sized for yarn being used, cast on 32 {…Continue Reading}
